Josh Futturman, a janitor by day/world-ranked gamer by night, is tasked with preventing the extinction of humanity after mysterious visitors from the future proclaim him the key to defeating the imminent super-race invasion.
Josh Futturman feels stuck in his dead-end job as a janitor so all he really does is play Biotic Wars, an unbeatable videogame the rest of the world has given up on. But when Josh beats the game, mysterious visitors from the future appear: the world is in danger, and Josh is the only one who can save it.
In 1969, Josh, Tiger, and Wolf launch a mission to infiltrate a fraternity party and prevent Dr. Kronish from contracting herpes—but the destruction they’ve left in their wake quickly catches up with them.
Tiger and Wolf decide it’s time for Dr. Kronish to die. Josh reluctantly agrees to help—but when he realizes he can’t go through with it, he finds himself caught in Tiger and Wolf’s sights instead.
In the wake of the disastrous attempt to assassinate Dr. Kronish, Tiger and Wolf kick Josh off the mission. When they realize their Time Travel Device is compromised, Josh makes a deal: if he can get them more fuel, they’ll let him back on the team.
Tiger, Wolf, and Josh work to unmask the Biotics undercover at the Kronish Labs Christmas party. Meanwhile, Josh grows closer to his coworker Jeri as she helps him avoid the obsessed policeman hot on Josh’s tail.
With just twenty-seven minutes before a bomb explodes in the head of their captured Biotic, Josh, Tiger, and Wolf hold a high-stakes interrogation in Josh's bedroom while Josh’s unwitting parents host a holiday dinner party downstairs.
Josh, Tiger, and Wolf jump into the future to steal the fuel they desperately need to continue their mission. But when they arrive at their destination, they are confronted by an unexpected enemy.
The end of the mission is in sight as Tiger and Wolf prepare for one final jump into the past. But when Josh’s mom is kidnapped, Josh refuses to let Tiger and Wolf leave before they mount a daring rescue to save her.
Convinced he knows how to stop Dr. Kronish once and for all, Josh commandeers the TTD and leads the team on a mission into the past. But when Wolf goes missing, they have to spilt up, forcing Josh to carry out his insane plan alone.
Still in the past, Josh desperately tries to change Dr. Kronish’s future while not messing up his own. Meanwhile, Tiger and Wolf confront each other over Wolf's wavering dedication to the cause.
Torn apart by internal divisions, the team is scattered throughout history, as Tiger and Wolf reckon with the way the mission has changed them and the possibility that they might fail.
Josh discovers that his interference in the past has completely transformed his life…for the better. Wolf and Tiger deal with the aftermath of their failed mission to the past.
Out of time and options, the team reconciles that their actions have made everything much, much worse and plan one final mission to put an end to Dr. Kronish and the Cure forever.
Season two picks up in 2162, and Josh, Wolf, and Tiger learn that their season one mission to stop the cure from getting out didn’t work. In this timeline, Stu Camillo is now in power, having created the cure, and launched a plan to relocate humanity to Mars. A shadowy organization called the Pointed Circle seeks to recruit Josh to take Stu down – but are they the good guys, or is Stu? As Wolf quickly acclimates to the strange customs of this time, Tiger struggles with her new discovery and searches for an escape.
Josh is confused to discover that he’s been released from jail. As he tries to make sense of this, he quickly realizes that all is not as it seems in his world. A new nefarious plan is afoot and Josh is being pulled into it whether he likes it or not.
Tiger and Wolf arrive in the future they created. Tiger is not welcome in The NAG (The New Above Ground) so she heads to The Mons where she learns humanity is moving to Mars, her DNA created the cure, and Stu Camillo is alive and well in hologram form.
Wolf is mistaken for Torque (the Wolf in this timeline) and he goes with it – learning about the NAG, and its 6-parent families and hatred of technology. Wolf tries to escape but the appeal of this new, strange world makes it hard for him to leave.

Josh, Tiger, and Wolf go on a mission to find their TTD and take down the Pointed Circle.
Tiger uses Stu’s fondness for her to help her track down Athena. Meanwhile, Josh is now a “Smasher” remanded to a labor camp, where the Pointed Circle comes after him. Wolf, vowing to improve the NAG, faces off against Supreme Overlord Vice.
Wolf, ignoring warnings about the Pointed Circle, brings Josh to live outside his Clusternest. Tiger reaches a dead end in her quest for the TTD.
Stu introduces a depressed Tiger to his simulation – where anything can be reality, drawing them closer than ever before.
Stu sends commandos to abduct Josh in the NAG – chaos and bloodshed ensue. Josh and Wolf learn the identity of Achilles, the elusive leader of the Pointed Circle.
